Slowly ordering parts, any way to cut down costs, also questions.

[acidydragon]

Hello all!

 

I'm working on ordering my water cooling loop... Slowly.

 

I have some of the parts, but needed some assistance on the blocks, pump, and such in order to save some money.

 

Here's what I was thinking...

- CPU Block: EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ - 66.95

- GPU Block: EK-FC780 GTX Classy - Nickel - 118.95 (x2)

- Loop Pump: Uber 655 (D5) Pump - 179.95    - I don't like the basic pump, without a pump top... I like compression fittings, but opinions appriciated.

- Reservoir: XSP Photon 270 Tube Glass Res - 64.99

- Tubing: PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing (3/8in ID x 1/2in OD) Clear - 25.00 (10 ft)

- Fittings: Phobya 13/10mm compression Fittings Matte Black - 59.40 (12 of them, 2 for 360mm Rad, 2 for 120mm Rad, 2 for CPU, 2 for GPU's, 2 for Pump, 2 for Res... Am I missing something?)

- Valve Fitting: Bitspower BP-MVV-MBK Mini-Valve - Matte Black - 21.95 (This is what I need for a drain port right?)

- Fan Splitter: 4-Pin PWN Power Distribution PCB 6x Way Block - 5.99 (This would work for splitting power right? Would the different channels get undervolted weird, or would pushing 12v give all of them 12v for example?)

 

I already have a Nexxxos Monsta 360mm rad, XSPC 120mm rad, Fan Controller, Rotary Fittings, and fans.

 

Thanks all.

Can you return your 120MM RAD? And you don't need a valve

[acidydragon]

Don't get a 120MM RAD, they are a waste of money

Already have it, got it used for like 20 bucks.

 

It's more for aesthetics than anything.

Get a valve, coolbeans is pleb

I had a valve in my loop, helps quite a bit if you ever have to do maintenance.  I recommend ordering everything but the fittings asap.

 

Put everything in the case, and check how you want tubing done in PERSON. It helps a ton.
